| 387062 | 2005-09-09 06:35:00 | Try the old DOS command assign. Can you do an autoexec.bat to run it in XP? Does it exist in XP? (Use the run command with assign /?) I am no genius in autoexec.bat stuff. Although I have heard of it, I have never actually try exploring that before... Cheers :) The above probably demonstrates the beauty of being in the middle of this era's technological age-group - not too young to not know about DOS, and not too old to have to still rely on it. :thumbs: |

It's Encyclopaedia Brittanica, not Linux. ;) How about the latest September PCWorld Magazine's Encyclopedia Britannica? Everybody is given one copy. And I suppose it is full version, instead one that keeps on prompting you to insert the PCWorld CD? Cheers :) |

It's Encyclopaedia Brittanica, not Linux. ;) I was able to do it with the 98 version with an edit to an ini file detailed on EB's support site and the 2002 version had full install as an option. The PC world version is a 2005 Almanac ie just a yearbook not the full EB unless I'm mistaken. |

| 387068 | 2005-09-09 16:07:00 | I bought the EB Ready Reference Version (2003) in a discount bin at the local electronics/geek/mod shop, and it let me online register for the whole free copy of the EB . I paid $19 . 00 US for the Ready Reference, and the upgrade never cost me more . The whole thing resides in one of my 200 gig JBODS and doesn't seem to take a lot of room . The version I got came in as a download, taking 7 minutes to receive/install . I later opted for the videos and they took another 14 minutes to download . There was a choice as to which video player I wanted for my default; I chose WMP 9, because Version 10 was not on the list . . . but it let me update and runs flawlessly on Version 10 . I guess there is more than one version of EB, and I wonder if your magazine is just sending a teaser for the whole EB program instead of the total package like the Ready Reference disc I got . . . . . . . . . . . :confused: . |

My Dad is into looking up statistics and other stuff like that so I installed it on his Win98se machine. It took ~150 MB of drive space to install and doesn't require the CD to be in the drive. | Jen (38) | ||

So, that means the E.B. contains only Almanac section? Does it contain only statistics only? Cheers :) |
